Item 8.01. Other Events.
Terex Corporation (the “Company”) is providing an update regarding the impacts of the ongoing
COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic (referred to as “COVID-19”) on the Company.
At Terex, our highest priority remains the safety, health and well-being of our team members, their families and our communities. Although the pace at which the situation related to COVID-19 is changing has been accelerating, we remain committed to serving the needs of our customers, including shipping our products, delivering our parts and servicing our equipment, while taking precautions to protect the health and safety of our team members, our customers, our suppliers and the communities in which we all live and work.
We have developed contingency plans for our operations and are taking appropriate steps to reduce operating
expenses. The Company’s actions include temporarily shutting down certain manufacturing facilities, adjusting production schedules at other facilities, reducing supplier component purchases in line with reduced production and aggressively managing all controllable costs. We have also suspended all share repurchases.
As a result of the evolving impact of COVID-19 on the economy, we are withdrawing our 2020 full-year guidance provided in the Form 8-K filed on February 13, 2020 and discussed on our 2019 fourth quarter earnings call held on February 14, 2020. The uncertainty around the impact on our financial and operating results of the COVID-19 situation cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
